Apparatus and method for removing rubber from tyres. The apparatus comprises a main housing in which is supported a water jet nozzle assembly, a guide mechanism and a collection chamber. The guiding mechanism directs flattened tyre parts under the nozzle assembly in a manner that is substantially perpendicular to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes at least one nozzle to direct high-pressure water onto the tyre part, to thereby remove the rubber. The rubber is captured and delivered into the collection chamber.

Non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining asphalt shingle waste (ASW) and performing grinding, screening, and separating steps on the ASW. In some embodiments, granules are removed from the ASW. In some embodiments, the method transforms ASW into ASW powder. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into a plurality of briquettes. In some embodiments, at least one of: the ASW powder, the plurality of briquettes, or any combination thereof is fed into a mixing process that results in an ASW powder filled coating.

Vaporizers are provided. A representative vaporizer includes a power source; a heating element that is electrically coupled to the power source; multiple chambers that are coupled to the heating element and are configured to vaporize a substance that is placed within the multiple chambers; an inner tube that is coupled to the multiple chambers and is configured to allow the vaporized substance to exit therefrom; and a housing that houses the power source, heating element, inner tube, and multiple chambers.

Systems and methods for drying asphalt shingle waste are provided. A method comprises obtaining an asphalt shingle waste, exposing the asphalt shingle waste to microwaves emitted by a microwave dryer, and processing the asphalt shingle waste into a processed asphalt shingle waste. The asphalt shingle waste has a first moisture content at an inlet of the microwave dryer. The asphalt shingle waste has a second moisture content at an outlet of the microwave dryer. The second moisture content of the asphalt shingle waste is less than the first moisture content of the asphalt shingle waste.

A process of recycling a bituminous product or a bituminous membrane product contacting reinforcement layers. Collecting the waste bituminous products and sorting it in a series of waste bituminous product batches. At least one grinding step of each batch in each series forms a fine ground batch. The fine ground batch is introduced into a recycling unit wherein the fine ground batch is heated and melted and collected as a melted product. The melted product is fed into a mixing tank having a predetermined volume containing fresh carrier.

The invention relates to a device and a method for the dissociation of tissue. In one embodiment, the device has at least one dissociation unit, for receiving a tissue sample, which is disposed at least partially in a pot-shaped cell strainer. In addition, the invention relates, in one embodiment, to a device and a method for the dissociation of tissue, the tissue being dissociated by a grinder having mutually movable rows of teeth which cut the tissue when moving past each other in the one direction and grind the tissue when moving past each other in the opposite direction.

Static plant for preparing feed mixes for ruminant livestock, having a conveyor unit for conveying the feed mix ingredients, chain and/or screw feeders, feeders with weight sensors and supplementary conveyor belt, silos of solid ingredients, and silos of liquid ingredients, independently supplying two or more high-capacity mixers, via the conveyor unit by a dual flow, the mixers including weight control means, laser sensors and strain gauges. The invention allows for mixing to be controlled with increased accuracy and, consequently, improving the quality of the mix, using fully automated continuous operating cycles, the resulting mix being discharged onto any type of known device using discharging means, for its distribution.

The present invention relates to a process for comminuting glass fibers from waste glass-based fibrous materials.

The present invention relates to methods for producing nanoparticle and microparticle powders of a biologically active material which have improved powder handling properties making the powders suitable for commercial use using dry milling processes as well as compositions comprising such materials, medicaments produced using said biologically active materials in particulate form and/or compositions, and to methods of treatment of an animal, including man, using a therapeutically effective amount of said biologically active materials administered by way of said medicaments.

A method for recovering metallic materials from crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules. The method includes removing aluminium frames and junction boxes from the photovoltaic modules to provide photovoltaic sandwich structures. The method further includes shredding the photovoltaic sandwich structures to form photovoltaic sandwich structure particles and electrostatically separating the photovoltaic sandwich structure particles into a first fraction and a second fraction with an electrostatic separator. The method further includes feeding at least a portion of the second fraction to an electrostatic separator for one or more subsequent electrostatic separations into the first and second fractions, wherein the first fraction includes less than 5 percent by weight of total polymer particles and is substantially free of glass particles.
